The hero has returned to the land he was exiled from (we know this because the next song in the album, “A Dream That Cannot Be”, he finds the woman he used to love before he was branded an outlaw).
Upon returning, he is ambushed by three men, likely seeking to kill him and claim a bounty. They have...
[Intro]
We fought the odds and prevailed
My sword and I are one
And vengeance is my name
Go!
[Verse 1]
The odds are stacked against me
Outnumbered three to one
These men are seasoned warriors
But I stand my ground
[Pre-Chorus 1]
Waiting
Let them come
Ready
Cut them down
[Verse 2]
No chainmail for protection
I don't have a shield
Surprise my one advantage
Keeping my sword concealed
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Hidden
Out of sight
Ready
Prepared to bite
[Verse 2]
The first man's coming at me
I am not afraid
The time has finally come now
To introduce my blade
[Pre-Chorus 3]
Flashing
Fear its name
Slashing
Feel the pain
[Chorus 1]
This is my sword
We are one and the same
My enemies' woe
Vengeance the name
[Verse 4]
The blade is swift and ruthless
It deals in death and harm
And as he tries to grab me
It cuts through his arm
[Pre-Chorus 4]
First cut
Blood is shed
Dripping
Snow turns red
[Bridge]
I've struck fear in their hearts
Now let the slaughter start
[Chorus 1]
This is my sword
We are one in the same
My enemies' woe
Vengeance the name
[Chorus 2]
This is my sword
The dealer of pain
Death of my foe
Vengeance the game
[Verse 5]
The next man overreaches
And so he winds up dead
One cut is all that's needed
I removed his head
There's only one left standing
He's lost the will to fight
I point my sword towards him
He quickly takes flight
[Pre-Chorus 5]
Running
From my sword
Victory
My reward
[Chorus 1]
This is my sword
We are one and the same
My enemies' woe
Vengeance the name
[Chorus 3]
This is my sword
The dealer of pain
Death of my foe
Vengeance my aim
[Outro]
This is my sword
This is my sword
